QUOTES ABOUT FATHER

Dad, your guiding
hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever.

..........

My daddy, he was
somewhere between God and John Wayne.

~Hank Williams, Jr.

..........

Sherman made the
terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that
the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like
himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could,
out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a
Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely
important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and
catastrophic possibilities of life.

~Tom Wolfe

..........

Fathers represent
another way of looking at life - the possibility of an alternative dialogue.

~Louise J. Kaplan

..........

Old as she was, she
still missed her daddy sometimes.

~Gloria Naylor

..........

Fatherhood is
pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.

~Bill Cosby

..........

Sons are for fathers
the twice-told tale.

~Victoria Secunda

..........

There are three
stages of a man's life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe
in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.

..........

You will find that
if you really try to be a father, your child will meet you halfway.

~Robert Brault

..........

Why are men
reluctant to become fathers? They aren't through being children.

~Cindy Garner

..........

There's something
like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his
daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to
pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.

~John Gregory Brown

..........

Henry James once
defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody
owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that
predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having
gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to
the job of showing his son how best to crash through it.

~Clarence Budington
Kelland

..........

A father is always
making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns
her back again.

~Enid Bagnold

..........

Sometimes the
poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.

~Ruth E. Renkel

..........

A father carries
pictures where his money used to be.

.........

The father who would
taste the essence of his fatherhood must turn back from the plane of his
experience, take with him the fruits of his journey and begin again beside
his child, marching step by step over the same old road.

~Angelo Patri

..........

My father, when he
went, made my childhood a gift of a half a century.

~Antonio Porchia

..........

It is much easier to
become a father than to be one.

~Kent Nerburn

..........

The words that a
father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the
world, but, as in whispering-galleries, they are clearly heard at the end and
by posterity.

~Jean Paul Richter

..........

Any man can be a
father. It takes someone special to be a dad.

..........

The greatest gift I
ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!

..........

I love my father as
the stars - he's a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart.

~Terri Guillemets

..........

My father used to
play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say,
"You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising
grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."

~Harmon Killebrew

..........

He didn't tell me
how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

~Clarence Budington
Kelland

..........

A truly rich man is
one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.

..........

Father! - To God
himself we cannot give a holier name.

~William Wordsworth

..........

Love and fear.
Everything the father of a family says must inspire one or the other.

~Joseph Joubert

..........

Blessed indeed is
the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
